Marital Blessings

Yesterday was a wonderful day spent with my husband. We didn't do anything extraordinary...we just spent the day together doing little things here and there, including eating pizza and ice cream. I felt so content, so happy. Today I've been sitting at home doing an overview on our upcoming Disney World trip when I get a notification of a new email. When I check it, I see that it's from Wes. It was a short paragraph, but one that brought tears to my eyes...such a sweet love note from him. I love getting those notes from him, it makes me feel so valued and cherished. It's amazing how I feel when I get reminders of love from Wes. And if this is how Wes loves me, imagine the love God must feel for me and everyone else. God has an entire Bible of a love letter to me...every single word in there shows His awesome power and His mighty works and ultimately the sacrificing of His Son so that I could have eternal life. That is immense love!!

I absolutely love how Wes shows his love and affection for me. It is a huge blessing to me. And it's an even bigger blessing to see that it is God who is at work in our marriage...and one of the ways He shows His love for me is through my husband.

Dear Anonymous,
Your comment really hit home to me because it's so easy for me to say these things in a blog, and yet completely neglect to actually tell my husband how much what he does means to me. I'm praying that your wife will show you and tell you about how she appreciates your love for her...and I thank you for reminding me that I need to do the same, and not merely type it in a blog.

Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!

Thank you, anonymous. However the point of this blog was not to be original or creative, but rather to speak on the areas of life that were standing out to be. I'll be bland with no readers any day if it means God is working in my life. :)
